Sales that deserve some attention heading into the weekend, or sometimes, a bit earlier. Might not be some massive once a year event, but still worth a look. Those are what make up these handfuls. Expect these things when necessary. Five of the better sales, one for each finger, are below. Included are a few picks worth pointing out.

It’s still January, right? Might be a little early for spring suiting, but if this year’s Corded Cotton suit jacket & pant are as good as last year’s (as pictured above and reviewed over here) then these are gonna be quite good for the price. Will probably drop into the mid $100s for the set in the coming months. Also, many thanks to Derric for pointing out that they’re now offering the Thompson Worsted Wool Suit Pants in SLIM. That’s a big deal, since one of the major drawbacks before was how roomy the pants were compared to the relatively tailored jacket.

UPDATE: Hang on a second… despite it saying, clearly, 30% off prices are as marked, the Thompson corded cotton suit jacket, pant, and wool slim suit pants aren’t reflecting that as of early this morning.

UPDATE II:Looks like they’ve fixed it. Prices on their site now reflect the 30% off.

Almost wrote that up as “25% off Men’s Private Sale”. Sounds painful. Anyway, they’re calling it a private sale, but it’s clearly on the website when you head to the men’s section. Also going on in-store, but you might need one of these savings passes. Interesting to see the code working, at post time, on Allen Edmonds. A note about the strands: Check Amazon. They’ve got some sizes going for $232.

Excellent. They’ve brought their outstanding “signature”, no-logo polo back at least in some kind of form. And the chambray placket actually looks pretty good. Pocket on the chest. Should be a trim fit. Also like the looks of those suede wingtips in the summer-ready “chalk” for just $65.

Once again, know that Frank & Oak’s return policy flat out stinks: “If you’re not happy for any reason, you can return your item(s) for Frank & Oak store credit within 15 days of delivery.” But they can make some tempting pieces.

anyone own Alfani sweaters? They’re 15.00 now on Macys. Looks like a great deal but have had no experience with them. Advice about sizing and quality are appreciated

DD-I don’t own any but just pulled the trigger on 6 sweaters thanks to your post. I will report back with quality after they arrive later this week. How can you not buy them when you can return in store and they all cost under 20$??

Thanks again,

J Crew has a very nice, very soft chambray shirt. But, it’s almost $100.

A great tip. Yeah I do that quite frequently but sometimes this works well, other times, not so much. I have learned the hard way not to totally trust the internet’s sizing guides.

JCF Corded Cotton is NOT the same as last year’s.

The 2014 version is fully lined, and traded the poly sleeves for acetate.

The composition of this item is 100% Cotton; Front Body Lining: 80% Polyester, 20% Cotton; Back Body Lining: 100% Cotton and Sleeve Lining: 100% Acetate.
